By the way, about that…

For the first time, we had some real audio difficulties in this episode. Thankfully Ted saved us by having grabbed some live audio of our incoming feed on his side. (Chalk one more accolade up for Blyss: podcast rescue squad.)

The first part of the episode was too good to throw away. It has a lot of insight, a lot of laughter, and a look at how to deal with life as a full-time musician. We decided to send it out, warts and all, so you could hear Ted’s story in his own words.

So if we sound tinny to you, like we’re coming through someone’s iPhone? Well, it’s because… yeah, we were.

But we PROMISE if you stick with us through this episode, it gets better next week.
